    I don’t know much about him. He certainly appears to have been flawed. However he was prominent decades ago at a time when black children couldn’t go to white only schools. Black people couldn’t drink from the same tap as whites. I would hope our moral standards have changed and improved since then.

    That doesn't make any sense. They were as deserving as any of the other students. If you're going by merit, those who performed fantastically during their time there merited their places the most even if they entered via a non standard route. They were also in the end as capable if not more capable than most of the student body. They also weren't less intelligent as Kirk claimed. But keep digging your hole, you've almost reached Australia.

    You don't see my point?

    It's very simple.

    Charlie Kirk is viewed by many here as some sort of monster. Alt-right, far-right, Nazi, Racist, White Supremacist, Fascist… all the well-known buzzwords have been flung at him.

    Meanwhile, MLK is viewed as this saintly figure, who is venerated and regarded as some Christ-like figure who has never done anything wrong in his life. This is despite the evidence that he was a serial cheat and a notorious womaniser who would have certainly gotten himself cancelled in today's morality, never mind troubling reports of him encouraging a rape.

    The reality is that Kirk is not the monster he is portrayed as, and MLK is not this historical saint either. They are human beings with certain qualities and faults, like all humans.

    In fact, if the two were alive, I'd wager they would sit down and have a good ol' debate and talk about nothing and everything. They would talk, debate and shake hands after and maybe have dinner.

    Sadly, both were murdered because of their views.

    This endless going on about how 'bad' or 'evil' a person is, is just feeding the very algorithms ye lot claim to hate.

    The republicans are looking everywhere to make this a left extreme violent murder even though the 22 yr old come from a white rep state and his family was MAGA hounds and arm to the teeth

    75% of murders are caused by white males

    Charlie Kirk whom I never heard of till the murder was a racist and pro 2nd amendment he is was no saint

    America is fucked needs a war uneducated mid west weld to much power.

    How does it not make sense.

    You apply for college, you dont have the grades, you get denied, but along comes DEI. It removes those students who should be awarded a place and gives it to someone who failed the grade but has the right skin colour or sex.

    Based on this logic, half of Dail Eireann should be DEI.

    So you have no problem with a doctor being suspended for exercising his right to free speech?

    How many people's lives have been put at risk because of this doctor being suspended for saying something in the vicinity of someone he's never met because they support Kirk's views?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,895 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    He certainly was a very different person to Charlie Kirk. MLK tried to bring people together. Kirk just wanted people in the Republiican camp. He supported Trumps big lie of stolen election.

    Are you just choosing to ignore the markings on the bullets filled with leftist Antifa language or the fact the lad had displayed left leaning tendicies to his family?

    Suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder has ‘leftist ideology’, Utah governor says

    Governor Spencer Cox says the 22-year-old suspect spent time in ‘dark places’ online. 

    The suspect in the assassination of the conservative American activist Charlie Kirk espoused left-wing views, Utah’s governor has said, amid heightened tensions and recriminations over surging political violence in the United States.

    In an interview with NBC News’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said the arrested suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, had a “leftist ideology” despite growing up in a conservative family.

    “We can confirm that, again, according to family and people that we’re interviewing, he does come from a conservative family. But his ideology was very different than his family, and so that’s part of it,” Cox said.

    Cox, a Republican, did not elaborate on Robinson’s suspected motive, but said the suspect had spent time in “dark places” online.

    “We do know, and again, this has been well publicised, that this was a very normal young man, a very smart young man,” Cox said.

    According to public records, Robinson registered as a nonpartisan voter in Utah, while his parents are registered Republicans.

    In a separate interview with CNN’s State of the Union, Cox said the information about Robinson’s left-wing views had come from interviews with family members and friends.

    “I really don’t have a dog in this fight. If this was MAGA, and a radicalised MAGA person, I would be saying that as well,” Cox said, referring to US President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement.

    “That’s not what they’re sharing.”

    Cox also confirmed reports that Robinson had a romantic relationship with his transgender roommate, who was transitioning from male to female.

    “This partner has been incredibly cooperative, had no idea that this was happening, and is working with investigators right now,” he said.

    Prefacing his racist crap with "It's being reported that……" or "I'm hearing that …." is not the Get out of Jail Free card that you think it is.

    plenty of kids from disadvantaged kids do indeed make it on their own, plenty more fall by the wayside due to not having the supports required which well off kids take for granted.

    It may be predominantly coloured kids that are most disadvantaged but no doubt plenty of of disadvantaged white kids would also deserve an opportunity if meeting criteria,.

    I missed the discussion earlier about Kirks bigoted remarks

    I guess if you reposted a facebook post that Indians were eating household pets in Dublin, that for some reason wouldnt be racist, and would be acceptable. I guess in that world nothing is racist.

    The saving grace from all of this is we now know who the scumbags are, we know how demonic the left are.

    Thankfully that unchecked time is over and common sense will prevail.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,657 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    The credibility of him witnessing a rape is firstly entirely in question so at best it's gossip. Him having affairs has also never been in doubt and it's pretty much frequently mentioned if you read or listen to anything about him, in the same way as it's mentioned with Kennedy. We naturally don't liken JFK to Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein cause it's a nonsensical comparison. So yes, he was a crappy husband but that doesn't negate the immense work he did for civil rights.

    Meanwhile the kind of things Kirk said are recorded and verifiable. Some are indeed taken out of context but there's plenty that is pretty clearly horrible even with contextualization. He didn't deserve to be murdered. But he's most definitely not half the man MLK was and I'd happily change that perspective on MLK if there was credible proof of the MLK claim you're relying on.

    Are you sure 75% is correct, if true that seems disproportionately high!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,657 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    Except getting into an Ivy League University isn't actually simply based on grades. It's everything from involvements in sports to charity work to other extra curricular activities. There's even the interview process. So getting perfect grades doesn't actually guarantee you a spot in Harvard or anywhere else. It's incredibly unlikely that there grades weren't up to scratch and that's backed up by pretty much all their academic performance during their times in university...

    Also just to point out, when Michelle Obama was in university, she was one of very few black students. That wasn't due to black people being less intelligent. But apparently this is what you believe.

    'demonic'.

    We also now know who the bible thumpers are too I suppose. Lot of them really outing themselves.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,895 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    It has brought out some interesting ideas about how religious people can not be homophobic and how its acceptable to spread rumours about minorities. Posters have definitely revealed alot about themselves in this thread.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭Toranaga


    There is someone choosing to ignore certain things in relation to this case but I would look a bit closer to home.

    Which markings were leftist antifa(a group of real people presumably) markings?

    Edit: and also, can you point to any of his family and friends who have verified his left wing ideology?

    The FBI crime statistics lump in Hispanic with white, as they count Hispanic as an ethnicity. So all murders committed by Cubans, Hondurans, Guatemalans, Mexicans, Salvadoreans etc. are being counted as 'white'.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,730 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Still trying to.blame the right I see. The scumbag is one of the far left. They tried to kill Trump more then once. The left made that scumbag Luigi Manigone who killed the CEO of a private United Healthcare in cold blood and made him a rockstar amongst the left

    I look forward to your excuses when all the evidence comes out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 680 ✭✭✭DrPsychia


    "Demonic"
    You must be a red state American or a Russian propagandist. I refuse to believe an Irish person could post such nonsense. I know there are many Irish nutjobs but you are seriously delusional if you are believing the sh*ite you're posting.

    I'm astonished at the tortuous mental contortions, the convoluted loops of twisted reasoning that the MAGA rightists will go through in their efforts to excuse, whitewash and ameliorate the turpitude of their idols and heroes. Racism =acknowledged as a Bad Thing, but xenophobia…hey, that's not really as bad, is it? Advocating for mass murder by lethal injection for the homeless-admittedly a bad thing…but, no, he's not talking about ALL homeless people. just some of them-ah, that's not so bad. Rape=acknowledged to be a Bad Thing, but sexual assault, No! Its not even that, it's sexual abuse…well, that's forgivable and it doesn't really make the Combover Caligula a 'Bad Man'. Abuse, belittle and cast slurs on black women…No! Its only some black women and nothing to do with the fact that they're black!

    ’member how Dubya Bush could hardly determine his arse from his elbow? It wasn’t for lack of trying, and yet, he had gotten degrees from Yale and Harvard.


    I guess one could say Affirmative action in his case meant his daddy and granddaddy had gone to Yale.
    This doesn’t mean his forebears weren’t somehow deserving…

    Its a truly great look at the sort of person who thinks Kirky was an "outstanding intellectual". Charlie just needed a few extra braincells and he was a god.
